The poem We Are More means to me, that our Citizens aren't just fisherman or hockey players or hill billy's we are way more we have a gentle and polite society and the whole world loves us for it. For the metaphor I think one is "We are the abandoned hesitation of all those who can't wait." meaning, people can go full blast to come here or do whatever they want in Canada. The impact builds up as he goes, like when he pauses, it builds up. Like when he says
Because we are more
Than a laundry list of things to do and places to see
More than hills to ski
Or countryside ponds to skate
We are the abandoned hesitation of all those who can't wait
We are first-rate greasy spoon diners and healthy living,cafes a country that is all the ways you choose to live, a nation that can give you variety
Because we are choices
We are millions upon millions of voices
Shouting, keep exploring
We are more
TOO MUCH QUOTATION. MORE METAPHOR EXPLAINATION. 4/6
